Slavic infighting

[Aldaris]

Verbal fire is not very productive.

Actually, it does more than bullets.

[gixajo]

It is the eternal problem of "us and them" (my group versus those that are not in my group) and "me in us"(me as individual inside my group).

I think I can somewhat report a slight relaxing of relations between Croato-Serbo fractions on TA It's a fragile peace, but we're trying!

English lyrics:

When Serbs and Croats divide Bosnia,
the war will stop, the war will then stop

And all Muslims go away to Turkey,
so that we don't look them anymore, let devil take them away

[Mingle]

As for you Russians. Rain fire on them. With words or otherwise.

Aren't you against Slavic infighting?

[Aldaris]

Aren't you against Slavic infighting?

That's actually kind of the point. Of course I am against Slavic infighting, but it doesn't mean that when one Slavic group is oppressed, neglected or generally treated unfairly within another Slavic group, they should lose their right to retaliate. That's exactly what's going on right now. My point is that it shouldn't have happened in the first place. I think it's quite clear, but let me give an example. If there was a region in, say, Poland where the majority of citizens would be Czechs native to the said region. And let us now assume that they would be mistreated by the Polish government. Now would I object Petr Pavel reacting to that, even using military force? No, I would not. Still, it would sadden me if the path of war would be the only one left.

I have long time ago surrendered the hope of that being actually possible. Still, the current situation is appalling to me.

I don't think it's the Slav you are fighting, but something else.

Well, then it must be contested that behavior such as imperialism, colonialism must end (in the region).

And this is what I mean when I say that:

True.

The behavior there is disgraceful.
